1 If we believe Jesus is truly Christ, we are God's children. Everyone who loves the Father will also love his children.
2 If we love and obey God, we know we will love his children.
3 We show our love for God by obeying his commandments, and they are not hard to follow.
4 Every child of God can defeat the world, and our faith is what gives us this victory.
5 No one can defeat the world without having faith in Jesus as the Son of God.
